Top 5 Ways to Spend New Year’s Eve on the Alabama Gulf Coast

Any day at the beach is a good day, but New Year’s Eve is a great day to be on the Alabama Gulf Coast! There are so many fun things to do as you say “so long” to 2017 and “hello!” to 2018. The hard part won’t be finding a place to go to take your family or meet some friends. The tough part will be deciding which place to choose! As you plan your annual countdown to midnight, consider these five options:

#5 Lucy Buffett’s LuLu’s

The fun starts at 10 AM at Lulu’s in Gulf Shores. For those of you who are not looking for a late New Year’s Eve Celebration, but an early one, this is for you! Grab your camera, throw on your shades and flip flops, and bring the kiddos to Lulu’s early on December 31. They will be getting ready for their massive Beach Ball Drop at noon. Expect kid friendly events and lots of entertainment for the whole family. Oh, and about the flip flops, you might want to bring along some warm shoes, too, just in case!

#4 Moon Pie Drop in Mobile

Yep! You read that right! There is a giant 600 pound Moon Pie that shines over downtown Mobile on New Year’s Eve and it drops at exactly midnight! If you’ve experienced an Alabama Mardi Gras, you know the significance of the Moon Pie in Mobile. However, if you’ve never seen the giant pie in the sky, you’re in for a treat that can only be rivaled by catching the real thing during carnival season. This is the 10th year for this fun event where you can expect to see fireworks, hear live music and get some great local food and drinks as you look forward to all that 2018 has to offer. This event is fun for families, friends and couples, alike.

#3 Marlin Drop at The Wharf

If seeing a Moon Pie lowering over the Port City isn’t your idea of an amazing way to ring in the New Year, how about seeing a giant Marlin lower at The Wharf? The Wharf in Orange Beach is known for its fabulous lights, amazing ferris wheel, superior retail shops, and superb resturaunts all year long. Seeing it all aglow with holiday lights while listening to the sounds of live music is a celebration no one should miss! Plan on attending kid friendly activities early in the evening and adult-centered fun as midnight draws near. Get ready to raise your glass and welcome 2018 as you watch The Wharf’s own Giant Marlin lower as the clock ticks down.

#2 The Flora-Bama

How about spending New Year’s Eve at the best bar on any state line? The World Famous Flora Bama Lounge located on the AL/FL state line will be hosting their annual New Year’s Eve bash. With live music on three stages, a buffet from 7-midnight and party favors, this is sure to be one for the record books! The Flora-Bama New Year’s Eve Bash is a ticketed event and it will most certainly sell out, so if you’re planning to attend this celebration, buy your tickets early! Sunset Properties rents two Penthouse Condos at the Caribe, which is only a half mile away from the Flora-Bama!

#1 The Hangout in Gulf Shores

We round out our countdown of the top 5 things to do for New Year’s Eve on the Alabama Gulf Coast with one of Gulf Shores’ own original beach destinations: The Hangout. Located at the intersection of Highways 59 and 181 in the heart of Gulf Shores, The Hangout will be hosting a New Year’s Eve celebration for both families and adults. Bring the wole family and come early for movies, face painting and a balloon drop. Or wait a little later for the 21 and up celebration to enjoy a delicious buffet, complimentary midnight toast and balloon drop with great prizes.

If you have a little too much fun and decide you don’t need to drive yourself back to your condo or beach house, remember to call one of our taxi services to take you home. Before your head out, check out www.gulfshores.com and search Taxi for a list of our fine transportation service companies. We want to have a great time celebrating, but we also want you to arrive safely back at your vacation home when the party’s over. We also rent a studio condo directly across the street from the restaurant and one just a couple of blocks down!

Wherever you choose to spend the last day of 2017, as long as you’re on the Alabama Gulf Coast, we’re sure you’re in for a day and night filled with great food, music, laughter and lots of happy beachgoers. Happy New Year from all of us locals on the Alabama Gulf Coast! We hope your 2018 is filled with sunny days, perfect waves and a little sugar white sand between your toes!

5 Things to consider when deciding to rent a Beach House or Condo for Spring Break 2018

Your family has decided you’re going to visit the beautiful Alabama Gulf Coast and enjoy our sugar white beaches for Spring Break 2018, but you can’t decide if you’d like to stay in a condo or a beach house.

Location/View

Location. Location. Location. We’ve all heard the term. What does that mean here? The location of your condo or beach house often determines the view. High rise Gulf Coast Condos tend to offer better views of The Gulf of Mexico and/or Mobile Bay than beach homes located in beach neighborhoods. However, there isn’t a much better view than the one you get from a deck of Gulf Front beach house. Our homes are located throughout Pleasure Island in South Alabama. Rentals are available in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach and Historic Fort Morgan. No matter which you choose, you are only steps away from the Sugar White Sands of Alabama’s most beautiful beaches.

Parking/Elevators

“I wish parking was closer to our vacation front door. This parking lot is huge!”

Most beach houses offer parking right under the house or in the adjacent yard. Alabama Gulf Coast beach houses, by design, are built up on pilings or piers to prevent flooding during tropical rain storms. Most do not offer elevators. Instead they only have stairs leading up the main living floor. Taking vacation supplies and luggage can be a challenge.

Beach front condos, Mobile Bay front condos and beach view condos, on the other hand, have large parking lots. Typically, luggage carts are available and elevators are usually present, so taking people and luggage up to your vacation front door can be very easy.

Personal Space vs Price

Beach condos are usually compact versions of larger homes. If personal space is a factor in your choice, a beach home may be your best option. Usually, beach homes offer more square footage than their smaller compact counterparts. Condos tend to be more economical than beach houses, however, if you are planning to split rental costs between two or more families, a beach house may just fit the bill. When choosing the beach vacation destination home that will best fit your family’s needs, keep in mind Sunset Properties has rental houses and condos that offer a variety of choices, design layouts and pricing.

Extra Comforts

If certain vacation amenities like having a pool only steps from your home-away-from-home is a must, a condo will usually fit the bill. Most condo complexes offer pools, fitness rooms, saunas and even a lazy river either on the ground level or the roof. Beach houses, however, are single family homes and typically don’t have these adjacent to the house. Beach houses are usually a part of a beach community and have a shared pool and/or fitness area within the neighborhood. WIFI, DVRs, TVs, stereos and other entertainment comforts are available in most condos and beach houses.

Fur Baby on Board

Is your fur baby coming with you? Both beach condos and beach homes allow pets. Usually a pet deposit is required and pet size restrictions can be a factor. If bringing your fur baby with you to the beach is a must, your options are open for both condos and beach houses.

If you’re still having trouble deciding which accommodation will best suit your family, email us at info@sunsetproperties.com or give us a call 251.543.1370. One of our vacation rental experts will be happy to help you!

Explore a Piece of Fort Morgan History

Construction of the historic fort began way back in 1819. It was designed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with manual labor coming mostly from African-American slaves. The name “Morgan” comes from a celebrated Revolutionary War hero, General Daniel Morgan. It was completed in 1834. Only 27 years later, Fort Morgan came under Confederate control at the start of the Civil War. Toward the end of the war in 1864, Union forces gained victory over a powerful Confederate force that included the U.S.S Tennessee, one of the strongest ironclad warships of the time. The fort was occupied once again from 1900 to 1923 and once again in 1942 in response to World War II. At the end of the war, the fort was abandoned. Today, it sits as a living history museum and the most important piece of Fort Morgan history.

What You’ll Find at the Museum

Over 200 years of historical artifacts are archived at the Fort Morgan Historic Site. In the museum, you’ll have the chance to see artillery, uniforms, local historical artifacts, and even two lighthouse lenses. In addition to these, during the months of June and July, uniformed historical interpreters will guide you through the museum and site. These experts will amaze you with their thorough knowledge and intrigue you with their garb. It’s well worth your visit, so be sure to plan it into your stay!

How to Visit the Fort Morgan Historical Site

Whether you’re a history buff or not, the Fort Morgan Historic Site in Fort Morgan, AL, will amaze you with its well-preserved history and backstory! You can visit the site daily from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. It’s truly the best way to get to know Fort Morgan history!
